Title: A transmission scheduler for a multiple antenna wireless cellular network
Inventor: AIRY MANISH
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: The invention includes an apparatus and method for scheduling wireless transmission of data blocks between at least one antenna of a base transceiver station and multiple subscriber units. The scheduling can be based on the quality of a transmission link between the base station antennas and the subscriber units, the amount of data requested by the subscriber units, and/or the type of data requested by the subscriber units. The scheduling generally includes assigning frequency blocks and time slots to each of the subscriber units for receiving or transmitting data blocks. The invention includes a method for transmitting data streams between a base transceiver station and a plurality of subscribers. The method includes receiving protocol data units from a network, creating sub-protocol data units from the protocol data units, and once per a frame of time, generating a schedule that designates time slots and pre-defined frequency blocks in which each one of the plurality of subscribers is to receive each of the sub-protocol data units from a plurality of base station transceiver antennas. The invention can further include transmitting the schedule to each of the subscribers, and the plurality of base station transceiver antennas transmitting the sub-protocol data units according to the schedule. The invention can further include selecting at least one transmission mode for each subscriber. The transmission mode dictating the type of modulation and/or coding used during transmission of the sub-protocol data units.

Abstract: Optical pulse signals are regenerated in the optical
layer using a source of light at a different optical
wavelength from the input data signal, combined with input
data signals and supplied to a Mach Zehnder interferometer
with a semiconductor optical amplifier in each of its limbs.
A delay for producing a time difference in the arrival of
incoming data pulses at the respective semiconductor optical
amplifiers enables a pulse to be established at one of the
outputs of the interferometer by alternate switching of the
light at the different optical wavelength on arrival of a
data pulse at each of the semiconductor optical amplifiers in
turn. 
     A wavelength-selective wavelength-division multiplexer,
preferably an unbalanced Mach Zehnder interferometer, is used
to combine the data with the light from the source, avoiding
the minimum 3dB loss of a Y-branch coupler and simultaneously
removing much of the noise generated by an amplifier that is
usually located at the data-signal entry of the regenerator. 
     For 3R regeneration, the source provides synchronised
clock pulses, rather than continuous wave, at the different
wavelength
